As the parent of several picky eaters, I am a fan of anything that introduces diversity into their palates. My kids in particular aren’t into dipping–unless it’s in ketchup or, on an adventurous day, barbecue sauce. So if a themed plate gets them to feel more positive about something they wouldn’t ordinarily try, I’m all on board! I can especially see my “nothing squishy–ever” son getting intrigued by the idea of getting to “paint” a beard with mashed potatoes–and possibly even tasting them in the process!
